    Default Looking for audio stores.

    Hi there, I am taking my friend out tomorrow to audition speakers and other components, but don't have a clue as to where! I am in Houston, TX so if anyone from the great state knows of any places, please share. Albeit, my friend is an entry level audio guy and would benefit more from an audio store than someone's house.

    Thanks in advance

    If he's truly into entry level, Fry's would probably do just fine if there's one around you.

    Good old Best Buy. For entry to sort mid level, it's a good place to start.

    Yes, he may be entry level when it comes to audio knowledge. But, he is a savy vet when it comes to deep pockets. He wants to get some pretty nice stuff, but just doesn't know where to start. This is why I offered to help.

    He is 90/10 HT. With his budget and needs, I was thinking some RTiA9's or something comparable. Anyone know of other brands/speakers or stores to check out further? Thanks

    I'm a big Paradigm whore.... so that would be my vote. But, i have enough problems finding audio shops in my area, so i still can't help there. :(

    Other than that one, I don't know of any down in Houston.
